"Use to go here when I was younger with my mum and gran after a shopping trip into bolton. So decided to go with my husband today while we where in town. I had a hot chocolate which was nice and a Russell’s club sandwich and my husband had the full English. Mine arrived and it was all cold and the ‘chicken and bacon’ on the club sandwich was a cheap sandwich filler slapped onto some toast and served. It was really bland and some of the lettuce on my plate had turned brown. The grated carrot was full of water so there was a puddle left on my plate from that and the really cheap coleslaw they had put on. It really wasn’t very nice and for £6 you would expect the chicken and bacon to be freshly grilled and not a cold cheap sandwich filler. My husbands ‘full’ English was really disappointment the sausages where really cheap and gristly and there wasn’t really much on the plate again the ingredients were really poor and cheap. Their prices are quite high for cheap food. The lady with the blond hair who served us was quite rude and in a rush to put them down and just told us cutlery is over there if you want sauce you’ll have to ask at the counter’ that was it really, they didn’t even say goodby as we left. It was quite a cold reception. I’m Disappointed as I had always gone when previously shopping but this place has gone really downhill and won’t go back as I know there are much better cafes in bolton. I wouldn’t waste your money and would go elsewhere."

This lower ground cafe is dated and tired looking but clean and excellent value for money. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Where can you get Jacket potato, beans coleslaw and salad, plus americano coffee for £7.34!

Decided to nip into Russell’s as we have previously been here a few years ago. The Cheese and Onion Pie “special” was something worse than a school dinner... pie was not homemade, peas and carrots was from a tin. The only thing half decent was the fresh chips. Disappointing to say the least! View menu

Was a little surprised we had to go downstairs as I have arthritis and find going up and down stairs difficult. To add to that it had been absolutely pouring with rain all day which made the descent more awkward as the stairs were wet. We stayed for hot drinks in a lovely little cafe, it was warm and inviting and the staff were lovely

We wanted a meal while we were in Bolton today and spotted this place. It's downstairs. Very nice staff. Simple food well cooked and nicely presented. The prices are great. We had minced beef &onion pie for 2 for £11.50 (Aug 2024) and they didn't skimp on the portions. Service was quick. Don't expect a posh restaurant because it isn't. I've no doubt we'll visit again though when we're in town around noon. They do children's meals and a pensioners' fish and chips. There is quite a good range on the menu so we were spoilt for choice.

This review just scraped an “average” rating as the food was edible and piping hot. Dark and dingy and looks like it was last tarted up sometime in the 1950s. My wife noticed on the menu that they have a place in Rochdale too and said “I wonder if that’s in a dungeon too?” My wife wanted to eat in a town centre fish and chip restaurant (named after a famous Greek mountain) but for some unknown reason I suggested Russell’s. It took forever to arrive (the reason I think it was so hot was it had been under the lamps as basically it was drying up). The long awaited fish and chips seemed to be cooked from frozen, not some freshly fried battered delight that we would have had at The first place we...

Russell's is a small restaurant, in a basement, on a busy shopping street in Bolton town centre. I understand that it has been in the same location for many years and it is still owned by the same family. Menus and prices are displayed at the street level entrance, so one can see what meals are on offer, before one goes down to the restaurant. Upon entering, menus are displayed near the counter. Meals are paid for and drinks collected at the counter, the servers bring the food to the table. Food available includes: Sandwiches, hot sandwiches served with chips and salad, a range of hot meals, plus a choice of deserts. I chose battered haddock, chips peas which came with a slice of bread butte...
